My Collection: (Maybe) I'm Just Not That Into Quilts

November 20, 2013

I hate to admit it: I have never been very into quilts. It's not that I don't appreciate the work, the community, the history...it's just been an aesthetic that never particularly appealed to me. And, I grew up in the farmlands of the midwest where every home's interior was decorated to the hilt in, well: "farmhouse interior" ---so I come by this predisposition honestly.

Well, maybe that's changed. Particularly since I just inherited a pile of very old, very beautiful andvery embroidered family quilts:

Beautiful! What lovely family treasures! Ive never found the aesthetic of basic quilts appealing either, but if I were blessed with heirlooms as you were I’d find a new appreciation too. What does the white quilt read? Thanks for sharing!

Firstly, I love the bird and flower quilt. Gorgeous.
Secondly, the animal on the quilt, reminds me of Where The Wild Things are, but the quilt I’m sure pre-dates the book….interesting.
